The Second Edition of the 15fq+

theoretical ideas and a tendency to take an academic intellectual approach to problem solving. As such, this correlation provides strong support for the convergent construct validity of this 15FQ+ primary factors.

Inspection of these tables demonstrates the ability of the 15FQ+ to predict EI, as well as providing further evidence to support the construct validity
